I have bet on countless of hands of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of bankroll at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a few months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar

Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
